The main carry over component from the Veyron is the 7,993 cc (8.0 L; 487.

8 cu in) quad-
turbocharged W16 engine, though it is heavily updated. The engine in the Chiron has a peak
power output of 1,103.25 kW (1,479 hp; 1,500 PS) at 6,700 rpm and 1,600 N⋅m (1,180 lb⋅ft) of
torque starting from 2,000 to 6,000 rpm.[13] The engine in the most powerful variant of its
predecessor, the Veyron Super Sport generates 221 kW (296 hp; 300 PS) less than the new
Chiron, while the engine in the original Veyron generates 367 kW (492 hp; 499 PS) less power.

Like its predecessor, the Veyron, the Chiron utilises a carbon fibre body structure, independent
suspension and a Haldex All-wheel drive system.[16][17][18] The carbon fibre body has a
stiffness of 50,000 Nm per degree.[19]

The Chiron can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 2.4 seconds according to the
manufacturer, 0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) in 6.5 seconds and 0–300 km/h (0–186 mph) in 13.6
seconds. In a world-record-setting test at the time in 2017, the Chiron reached 400 km/h (249
mph) in 32.6 seconds, after which it needed 9.4 seconds to brake to standstill.[20]

The Chiron's top speed is electronically limited to 420 km/h (261 mph), or 375–380 km/h (233–
236 mph) without the specific key, for safety reasons, mainly arising from the tyres as Bugatti
concluded that no tyre currently manufactured would be able to handle the stress at the top speed
the Chiron is capable of achieving.[3][21] Independent testing by an owner has indicated that the
Chiron can easily attain its limited top speed.[22] Mixed fuel consumption is 22.5 L/100 km
(12.55 mpg-imp; 10.45 mpg-US).[23]
